Chair of the Board

LumoTV
Formerly the British Sign Language Broadcasting Trust (BSLBT) and BSL Zone, LumoTV
was launched early in 2025 to reflect an exciting new era for deaf entertainment. Building
on the foundations established by BSLBT since its creation in 2008, LumoTV is now the
go-to place for fresh, diverse and innovative broadcasting content that celebrates and
connects with the deaf and sign language communities.
With an exciting future on the horizon and further expansion of the organisation’s reach
and purpose, LumoTV is seeking a new chair to lead us into the next phase of our
development.
The connection between LumoTV and its audience is key to its success, and it is therefore
important that the organisation continues to be deaf led. We are therefore seeking to
appoint a deaf chair to take up the post in early 2026.

Scope of the Role
The Chair will provide leadership to the Board in delivering the organisation’s Vision and
Mission. The Chair will encourage team working and cohesion and support each trustee to
fulfil their duties and responsibilities for the effective governance of the organisation.
The Chair will also hold the Chief Executive to account for delivering the day-to-day work
of LumoTV, providing appropriate support and challenge. They will also act as an
ambassador for LumoTV, advocating externally for the organisation and becoming the
face of LumoTV alongside the Chief Executive.
